Jim,
Is there a 1 inch surface on your car that you have not touched or changed? Your car is an evolving work of art.

Thanks Mark.... ....that's a good idea about the stereo face plate... ...I'll have to give that some thought....

Jim,

There are times when I think I'm gaining a little ground on your car with my mods and then you go and pull something like this. Your car is truly a work of art and probably one of the best known (and photographed) C5's on the planet. It's going to look even better when your done. When you run out of ideas for your car, you can help me with mine.

Steve

I bought the puller & legs from the local Napa Auto Parts Store and it actually only took a couple minutes to remove the wheel after getting the air bag assembly out of the way.
Hopefully will have this project completed in time for a show coming up in Nashville, TN next month...
Thanks again for the help guys .....




Anybody seen my 3/8" wrench???

If I pulled my car apart like that it would officially turn into a garage queen, I don't think I would ever get it back together! And after it was towed to my Chevy dealer and I received a quote on the repair, junking it and buying a new Z06 would probably be cheaper. You are a brave sole and I hope you have good luck putting it back together!
